Sonny and Brenda Update

This week after Dorman's murder, Brenda sees Sonny putting something in his pockets, but when asked, he didn't reveal what. Is it a ring or something related to the murder? Sonny goes to the police station to help Jason after he is brought in for questioning after being found in the morgue where Dorman was murdered. Sonny and Brenda plan to meet at a restaurant and while Brenda is waiting, Jax shows up. Sonny arrives soon after with the line "You beat me. This is a first."

A day or so later, they meet in Brenda's hotel room. Brenda has a gift for Sonny...a framed photo that she took of the farmhouse & the field. They lie on the bed and imagine building their dream house. Brenda wants it to be "Wood brown with a huge, cushiony bedroom with a huge window on one wall." She eventually gets Sonny to play along. Then they are interrupted by Jason, who has news about Jax.

PLEASE NOTE: This does not mean receiving S&B Updates! It means that you will be writing them!

S&B Memories

This section is dedicated to Sonny and Brenda's past with a transcript of a scene and a memorable line.

The Plane to Washington, D.C.: June 10, 1994
Sonny and Brenda jet first class to DC. As they chat, subtitles reveal what they are really thinking which is that they want each other:

S: "You wanna trade seats?" (That perfume drives me wild!)
B: "No thanks, I'm fine." (I can't stop picturing him nakes...)
S: "Maybe another glass [of wine] is not such a bad idea." (I wonder if she's ever done it at 20,000 feet.)
B: "No, you were right. We shouldn't." (He never used to be able to resist me.) She leans over...
S: "So you're reading up on the music business?" (How long can I keep this up?)
B: "You know...I really want to learn everything there is to know." (I should have jumped his bones when I had the chance.)
S: "Well, it's important to have something to offer the corporation." (Resist, man. Let her think you can wait forever.)
B: "Right. Like what kind of skills?" (Give me a chance and I'll show you skills!)
S: "Something that shows your natural abilities, your physical presence. I can just picture you convincing the program director to play our records." (You can talk me into anything.)
B: "Ah, right. Like promotions...I can do that." (I know he wants me too.)
S: "I'm convinced you have great potential." (Why, why, am I letting her get to me?!)
B: "That's a really nice thing for you to say." (If I've messed it up with him I'll die.)
S: "I mean it." (I can't breathe!)
B: "Thank you." (Shut up and kiss me.)
S: "You're welcome." (Shut up and kiss me.) "You know it's good that we understand each other like this, you know...if we're gonna be doing business together."
B: "Absolutely, I agree."

S&B Quote

Scoops

Bobbie's detective work leaves Stefan suspicious. Carly tells Tony she may make a move. Taggert puts the spotlight on Sonny. Audrey regains consciousness. Jax finds out an interesting detail about Mac. Monica tells Alan part of the truth. Ned and Alexis share a first. Lucky makes a new friend. Nikolas helps Katherine to see what is really important. Brenda puts herself on the line for Sonny. Taggert targets the Quartermaines. Alan performs at the Nurses' Ball. Tony says he wants to work things out, but Carly worries that his intentions aren't genuine. Sonny keeps his past in mind while making plans for his future. Stefan gives Monica additional power.

The Nurses' Ball continues. Tony makes a decision about Carly. Luke and Bobbie find a hidden box at Wyndemere. Brenda and Sonny share romance and hopes for the future. Carly worries about her baby's paternity.

Deadly Games on GH
Despite nearly getting nailed while breaking into Stefan's (Stephen Nichols) computer on General Hospital, the secretly reunited Spencer siblings Bobbie and Luke are pursuing their scheme to undermine the cassadines.

"It's almost like Stefan has ESP," remarks Jacklyn Zeman in character as Bobbie. "He doesn't know it's me, but he smells it." Although Stefan found nothing but his laptom upon bursting into GH's library, the seeds of suspicion were sown. This week, those seeds take root.

"We're tiptoeing around each other at this point," remarks Zeman. "We're being polite and I'm trying to keep the sexual bond there, because it's the only control I have in the situation."

That control is essential, as Bobbie and Luke struggle to hide their secret meetings from Stefan. "Luke and Bobbie are bretending to still be fighting," Zeman explains. "But Stefan senses smoething."

The Spencers have another problem. "Stefan changes the password on his computer," recounts Zeman. "Luke and I thought we were in, but not anymore." Back at square one, Bobbie and Luke are taking extra care to stay a step ahead of Stefan. After all, as Stefan once told Nikolas: "Cassadine marriages don't end in divorce."

Reminder to E-mail and Snail mail TPTB

For a list of e-mail and snail mail addresses to TPTB & the soap magazines, click here.

Suggestions

Some suggestions for what to send TPTB (if you've run out of ideas) are:

Take a few (or all) of the Sonny and Brenda Official Handbook and copy & paste it and send it off to TPTB.

Take a song (see the song page for many songs) and (including the song in the e-mail) tell why it makes you think of S&B.

Take a quote or scene from S&B's past that you loved and explain why you love it.

Reminder!

Positive e-mail/snail mail to Soap Opera Digest about an actor/actress is what determines if they are nominated for the SOD Awards! Hint, hint! :-)

Another reminder!

When writing e-mail/snail mail about S&B to TPTB, use your S&Believers tagline if you are a member.

Vote!

This is a reminder to vote in various polls that you find on the net or in soap opera magazines. Sonny and Brenda Online has a weekly poll and you can take it by clicking here. Port Charles Online has a voting booth with questions for you to answer. If you have AOL, be sure to vote in all polls there. This one is important because, from what we understand, TPTB take the AOL polls seriously when making decisions.

Posting on message boards.

Remember that when posting on message boards, try to avoid negative confrontations and focus on the postitive. Also, when appropriate, use the S&Believers after you sign your name if you are a member if you choose to do so. If you have AOL or another online service with soap boards, it is very important for you to post pro-S&B messages there, too, to show your support in our supercouple!

Update on the registrations.
There are currently 360 people registered. There are just over 100 registrations in my box. Keep your eye on the Welcome Board for updates during the week.
